Sounds like the fan speed resistor is knackered. Remove your scuttle cover and you should be able to see it.

(Can't remember how you change/fix it though - been so long since I did it. :blush:)

Picture of one on ebay (it's the black tube thingy)

Thanks, had a spare from last car, however destroyed it foolishly trying to remove the loom ! see seller has 1 more on ebay but expect an unused one would have longer life main dealer in Rutherglen tells me they dont exist as do vwheritage - anyone know better - as it looks fiddly to fit including loom and probably not good idea to cut and clip ?
